54

For diesel locomotives the range of horsepower is

A) 50 to 200 B) 500 to 1000 C) 1500 to 2500 D) 3000 to 5000

Discuss

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C

Solution:

Diesel locomotives typically have a horsepower range that allows them to efficiently pull heavy loads over long distances.

The range of 1500 to 2500 horsepower is common for many diesel locomotives used in rail transport.

This range provides the necessary power for both freight and passenger trains, ensuring reliable and effective performance.
